"JERUSALEM -- Israel's prime minister says his new government is extending its hand in peace to the Palestinians.

Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel's parliament Monday that he hopes to rejuvenate peace efforts in his new term. Negotiations remained frozen during Netanyahu's previous four-year term.

Netanyahu told the chamber that Israel has proven "time and again" it is ready to make concessions in exchange for a "real peace."

He said that with goodwill from the Palestinians, Israel is "ready for a historic concession that will end the conflict with the Palestinians once and for all."

Netanyahu gave no indication about what concessions he might make in his new term.His new Cabinet, set to be sworn in later Monday, consists of both moderates and hard-liners toward the Palestinians."

Not that big of a deal, right? You may not agree with it, but it's barely even worth publishing an article about. As you can see, there were hardly any comments on it by Huffington Post standards. But it was kind of impressive how well the haters managed to whip themselves up into a froth. Here are some examples:

It's very interesting that the only thing that makes the Huffington Post readership rage more than when Israel does something bad is when it does something good.

Hey guys we've started to employ a slight comment policy. We used to have completely open comments but then people abused it. So our comment policy is such: No obvious trolling or spamming. And be warned: unlike the Huffington Post we actually enforce our comment policy.

This is the mission statement of the Huffington Post Monitor blog:

The Internet news website the Huffington Post has become a home to a subsect of commentators expressing anti-Israel hate speech and anti-Semitism. We are two brothers dedicated to exposing these people and revealing their hatred, as well as dismantling some of their arguments.
